Paul Preissner is an American architect, founder of Paul Preissner Architects, an award-winning architecture office from Oak Park, Illinois.
The studio is an ideas workshop where imagination and crude experimentation are used to create unique social spaces characterized by weird juxtapositions, plain materials, and an economy of form. Our thoughts on the problem of housing and houses, furniture and installations, libraries, community centers, museums, schools, stores, and also some other things are available to be seen here on this website.
Work from the office is included in the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, has frequently been exhibited internationally, and is widely published. Paul participated in both the 2015 and 2017 Chicago Biennial and is a co-curator of the US Pavilion for the 17th International Architecture Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia.
